    Time to maintain peace with foreign countries: Letters
    We are friends with Vietnam now. It’s a tourist destination. What did those 58,000 boys die for? What did our aggression in Iraq prove? When will this conflict in Afghanistan end? Why are we always at war? These are my Questions Of The Week.

    5 ways to improve the garden this week, June 29-July 5
    1. Water wisdom
    As the temperature rises, irrigate your garden and landscape in the evening or early in the morning, but not in the middle of the day. Allow water to run long enough to soak in deeply, then turn it off. Plants use the most water, not only when temperatures are high, but also whenever a breeze blows, or during flowering, or as fruit is developing. Containerized plants usually need more frequent watering than those in the ground.
